"He's so bloody annoying, he doesn't even know what love is!" - A typical hate fan of Justin Bieber

"I love Justin Bieber, NOT!" - Peter Chao

He seems to be everywhere on the radio! His 'Baby baby baby ooh' chorus will echo into your head wherever you go. He won so many admirers for his talents & at the same time, many haters as well (including a handful of my churchmates). But why exactly do people hate him so much? This phenomenon has been fascinating me lately as such a young talented singer can earn so much hatred for what he does;

"He sings like a girl!"

"He's too young...& short!"

"He sucks!"


Enemy spotted!


Looking from the context of behaviour psychology, I would say his haters are experiencing what we call as Tall Poppy Syndrome (TPS)

Don't get me wrong. His songs are not my taste, neither do I like him. But does that mean I have to hate him for that? Imagine a chick hates me just because I look like her ex boyfriend, WTF!? You can claim that he sucked, but what success have YOU achieve compared to his? He's only what, 15, 16 years of age? What have YOU accomplished during his age if you say Justin Bieber is an epic failure?

Hate him all you want. You can complain to God that he doesn't deserve his success. But while you are living in anger & hatred, people like Justin are already moving on to achieve even greater things in his life. Now that's cold hard reality! In conclusion, I've learned that too much success in a short period of time will see others with chainsaws coming right at you!

No one likes to see others more successful than them. Beware, those whom aspire to be great!


*Sigh*

Believe or not, I ain't gonna watch the World Cup. Since M'sia did not qualify for it, there's no reason for me to be supporting other countries. For too long the church has been rallying it's members to keep believing in God for a revival in this nation. But you guys don't even believe that God can work a miracle for our national football team! How then can a revival be ever realized ooh you faithless goons?

You all may not know this, but I'm actually deeply disappointed that our country is always been looked down upon by others when it comes to football, among many other things as well. As a man of pride, I really don't like to be laughed at. Of course, I can always change my nationality of a better country. But to me, that is a cowardly act. I refuse to take the easy way out. I want to finish what our forefathers has started for this cursed nation. God, let not my idiotic decision be in vain!

13th medal, *roar*!

Wah good good! This run was well organized & planned, very impressed indeed! There are three mistakes I've made though prior to this run; 1. Didn't had my breakfast (oops) 2. Didn't warmed up properly (double oops) 3. Sprinting from the start (triple oops). And the results are? Dragging my body throughout the run while feeling jaded, hoping to see the light at the end of the tunnel! So remember kids, the will to win is important, but the will to prepare is vital!

One of the cultures of CHC; get to know your neighbours within 3 minutes!

I think it's time I whack some of the guys in church *bitching mode power on*! Men, stop watching action movies & complained to me on how underachieved your life is. And please lah, stop crying during praise & worship, praying to God that something great will happen in your life. I bet my whole life savings nothing will ever happen! Do you know why?

God will only MOVE when you MOVE! If you're gonna let your circumstances dictate on how you should live your life then rest assured, you will live a mediocre life! Don't let excuses like work, exams or assignments hinder you from making important decisions in life. Most of you already allowed these excuses stopping you from going to Asia Conference & missed the amazing transformation power of God, how pathetic!

Looks guys, seriously ask yourselves this. When is the LAST TIME you've ever felt adrenaline rushing through your body by doing something great, enjoyable & purposeful at some point in your lives since high school? Can't answer me right? That means you have already forgotten what it feels like to be a real man. It's okay, it's okay *pat you on the back*, you can always follow my example;

Join a marathon, motherfeather!

I assure you, if you decide to join me in running events, you will feel like a man again! When you reach the finishing line, you will feel a sense of satisfaction that you have overcome an obstacle. When you receive your medal upon completing the race, you will feel that you have accomplished something great in your life. When you look back to this day from many days to come, you can proudly say to yourself & to your future grandchildren, "I was once part of something great, & it shall stay with me forever!"

Don't tell me "see first lah Marc", just do it!

*Happily jumping up & down* ;D

Congrats to those whom also got their ACE cert. Feels like I'm over the moon right now because with this cert, I am spoiled for choice of where do I wanna work as a personal trainer. But before I start finding work, there is one thing I have to overcome first;

It's time to feel the adrenaline rush again

I have decided. I do not want to run for personal pride anymore, but this time I want to run for Jesus. I want His glory to be magnified through me. I want others to see that through Him, you can have a second chance in life. When I run for myself, I always feel unsatisfied & thus, become very competitive. But when I start to run for Him instead, I feel that I'm finally fulfilling my purpose. When you try to please others, they want to see how good you are. But when you want to please God, He doesn't look at your abilities but rather, He looks at your heart & sincerity in serving Him.

My talents & gifts are now at Your disposable. Lord, use them wisely ~


This is only 1/10 of the crowd!

What can I say about the five days trip to Asia Conference in Singapore? Honestly, there are just too many good things to list out here. All I can say is, sign up for their next conference in 2012. Screw exams, assignments & work! You seriously don't have a clue what you've missed & will be missing on!

Gotta thank Delvin, Careen & Alfred whom strongly encouraged me to go although I was first skeptical about it. Serious shit, it was way beyond my expectations. The conference really captured my imagination & transformed me in a way where I would never think & see things the same ever again. Still dunno what I'm talking about? Then sign up in the next two years!

I have tons of pictures to show you, but I think this trailer can give you a better idea what we've actually went through

Our M'sian Parade of Schools Team below. They make me so proud *sob*

Awesome stuff by the church's main branch (Warning: lower your speaker volume first!)

Alright that's enough, remember to sign up two years later!
